About 3 year(s) ago by MediaConnect

Celebrate Pride Toronto with the InterContinental Toronto
Yorkville. Home to one of the largest
LGBTQ communities in the world, Toronto will host its annual Pride Festival,
June 20 – 29, with ten amazing days of parades, parties, music and events. The
city’s historic Gay Village is transformed into a festive pedestrian party zone
of queer culture, art and lifestyles. Pride
Toronto celebrates courage, diversity and hope for human rights and equality
for all people and sexual identities.

This year will be even more exciting as Toronto hosts
WorldPride 2014 for the first time in North America. WorldPride
2014 Toronto is destined to be one of the biggest international events of our
generation. The parks, open spaces and streets of downtown will be a global
gathering with gay-friendly lounges and restaurants hosting events, and bars
open until 4 am.

Lesbian singer-songwriter Melissa Etheridge will kick off the Toronto
WorldPride at Nathan Phillips Square to open the 10-day celebration. The festival will also feature Pride Week, with music
performances and cultural events, including the Streetfair in the
Church-Wellesley Village, a marketplace with artists and local food vendors.

WorldPride’s hottest dance
party, AQUA will take over Yonge & Dundas Square with 22 water
fountains and partygoers dancing to amazing international DJs. The festival
ends on the weekend with the Dyke March on Saturday followed by the colorful
Pride Parade on Sunday. Check out Fruit Loopz, a youth festival of arts, words
and ideas, or bring your family to the kid-friendly zone in the park at Family
Pride.
